ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT This study identified factors associated with dynapenia in older adults residing in a small town in northeastern Brazil. It is a population-based study conducted with 208 senior citizens (58.7% women) from Aiquara, BA. Sociodemographic, behavioral and health information were obtained from face-to-face interviews, and nutritional status was assessed by body mass index. To measure their level of physical activity and sedentary behavior, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used. Dynapenia was diagnosed by sex, from the 25th percentile of handgrip strength, by means of a hydraulic dynamometer. For inferential analyses, Poisson regression was used, with a robust estimator, calculation of Prevalence Ratios (PRs) and their respective 95% Confidence Intervals (CIs). The prevalence of dynapenia was higher in older adults aged 70-79 (PR 3.21; 95%CI 1.55-6.64) and ≥80 years (PR 4.91; 95%CI 2.32-10.39), in those with low weight (PR 2.20; 95%CI 1.26-3.82), in those who are insufficiently active (PR 1.99; 95%CI 1.12-3.54), and among those with high level of sedentary behavior (PR 1.88; 95%CI 1.19-2.98). The factors identified as being associated with dynapenia were age between 70 and 79 and ≥80 years, insufficient level of physical activity; high level of sedentary behavior, and low weight.
RESUMO
RESUMO Este estudo identificou os fatores associados à dinapenia em idosos residentes em um município de pequeno porte do Nordeste brasileiro. Trata-se de um estudo populacional, conduzido com 208 idosos (58,7% mulheres) de Aiquara-BA. As informações sociodemográficas, comportamentais e de condições de saúde foram obtidas em entrevistas face a face, e o estado nutricional foi avaliado pelo índice de massa corporal. Para mensuração do nível de atividade física e do comportamento sedentário, utilizou-se o International Physical Activity Questionnaire. O diagnóstico da dinapenia foi realizado por sexo, a partir do percentil 25 da força de preensão manual, averiguada com um dinamômetro hidráulico. Para análises inferenciais foi utilizada a regressão de Poisson, com estimador robusto, cálculo das Razões de Prevalência (RP) e de seus respectivos intervalos de confiança de 95% (IC). A prevalência de dinapenia foi maior nos idosos com idade entre 70-79 (RP 3,21; IC95% 1,55-6,64) e ≥80 anos (RP 4,91; IC95% 2,32-10,39), nos com baixo peso (RP 2,20; IC95% 1,26-3,82), nos insuficientemente ativos (RP 1,99; IC95% 1,12-3,54) e entre os com elevado comportamento sedentário (RP 1,88; IC95% 1,19-2,98). Identificou-se que os fatores associados à dinapenia foram idade entre 70-79 e ≥80 anos, nível de atividade física insuficiente; elevado comportamento sedentário e baixo peso.
